ABOUT WORK:
Title: Sardvarka: Tales From Duraan
Medium: Multimedia approach including digital illustrations, sculptures and score
Sardvarka: Tales From Duraan is a lifelong project that explores my homebrewed D&D world I've had since I was 14 years old! I created this work to explore the mythology, heritage and culture I grew up around and seeing whether myself and my players’ collective storytelling could reinvigorate tales and incorporate them into our modern world.
This collation of work has been a collaborative effort between myself and the players of the campaigns I'm running. All drawn elements were created by yours truly, but all audio elements were lovingly created by Jack Todd and Matthew Eaton.
